Conditions we treat
Six guides, written for the person who has just been told they have something and wants to understand what it means. Each one covers what it is, how it is assessed, how it is treated, and when it needs urgent attention.
Coronary artery disease
Also called CAD, Ischaemic heart disease
Narrowing of the arteries that supply the heart muscle itself, usually from gradual cholesterol build-up, which can cause chest discomfort on exertion and, if an artery closes, a heart attack.
High blood pressure
Also called Hypertension, High BP
Persistently raised pressure in the arteries. It causes no symptoms in most people for years, which is precisely why it is worth measuring rather than waiting to feel it.
Rhythm disorders
Also called Arrhythmia, Palpitations
Disturbances in the heart's electrical rhythm — too fast, too slow, or irregular. Many are harmless, some need treatment, and a few carry a stroke risk worth finding.
Heart failure
Also called Weak heart, Cardiomyopathy
A condition in which the heart cannot pump or fill well enough to meet the body's needs. The name sounds absolute; in practice it is a long-term condition that is managed, often well.
Valve disease
Also called Valvular heart disease, Leaking valve
Disease of one or more of the heart's four valves, which either narrow and obstruct flow or leak and let blood travel backwards. Often silent for years, and often first noticed as a murmur.
High cholesterol
Also called Dyslipidaemia, High LDL
An unfavourable balance of fats in the blood. It causes no symptoms whatsoever, and it is one of the main drivers of the arterial narrowing behind heart attacks and strokes.
